The Emergency Management Minister's motivated to strengthen the country's disaster resilience in the long haul. 

The Government's released a long-term vision for the system over the next five years, which includes creating a "whole of society" approach, and building the capability of the workforce. 

Mark Mitchell says recent weather events show the current system isn't fit for purpose. 

He told Mike Hosking there's a high-level of first responders across the country, ready to respond to emergencies. 

Mitchell says they need to be better supported by legislation, more training, and a bigger investment into systems. 

He says they've learned from events like Cyclone Gabrielle and is confident future disaster responses will be better.
